in the Times. [Parnellite cheers.I It's
phraseology was absurd and its pur-
port preposterous, and every part OF
it bore evidence of an absolute
and irrefragable want of genuinenesS. He
had never known the late Mr.. Forsters life
TO be in danger, or that there was any con-
spiracy against him. He didn't know any
thing of the conspiracy of the invincibles,
and nobody was more surprised than him
self when the blow fell upon their victims.
He had suffered more than any other man
from that terrible deed and Ireland had
suffered more than any other nation.
NO CONNECTION WITH FENIANs.
1t was absolutely untrue that the National
League had any communication with tenian
organizations in America. He never had
any dealings with anybody in America i'll
respect to the proceedings of any societies.
All his savings and doings had been open
and above board. [Cheers.1 AS to the bill
under discussion, it was the most drastic
measure proposed since 1858. 1t would EN-
power the government to subject their
political opponents to treatment reserved for
the worst criminals in England. The great
heart of the English people was, he believed,
against the bill, and he hoped the country
would make its voice heard before the COM
mittee stage was reached. He trusted in
God that the English nation and Parlia-
mont would be saved from peril and deg
radiation by passing such a measure.

%SECoND READING AGREED TO.
Sir Bernhard Samuesons amendment TO

HEALY IN THE STRANGERS GALLERY.

in the strangers gallery during last nights
proceedings in the House of Commons. He
will go TO Ireland to-day, and will be quail
fled to return to Parliament on Monday.
The Standard this morning says; MIR,
ParneIl could do no less than repudiate the
Times letter as an au1acious forgery. II
now remains for the Times TO prove it to be
authentic
The Times says: 1--WE pay no attention TO
Mr. Parnell's big words. II he proceeds to
apply the only test by which the truth can
be brought plainly before the world we are
quite prepared to meet him. 1t is remark
able that Mr.. Parnell appeared doubtful on
what grounds to impeach the authenticity
of the letter. He first seemed disposed to
think it might have been an autograph
Nillfu ttll lilbO NoW,
however, no asserts that the signature is
forged To meet such discrepancies as be
points out we possess several undoubted OK
amples of his signature, and in our delib-
erate Judgment there can be no doubt that
the letter is genuine.
